Today, One More Checkmark In My Life…
Happy Belated Labor Day to everyone, this year my labor day came with a big gift from me to well…me.
I’ve mentioned before that I’m a big fan of making “to do” lists for everything I need to get done in a day (some how I instantly become 4 times more productive).
Well, I’ve done the same with my life goals.
I’ve made a list of all the things I want, materialistic, spiritual - everything.
I’m very happy to say that as of 3 years ago, I had started checking things off of the list! I checked off…
- Graduate college
- Start a business
- Find a great mentor
- Buy a REALLY nice car!
…and others too.
However, as of recent (and officially on Friday night), I checked off:
“Buy my own place…”
I just moved into my own condo this weekend and it’s everything I wanted it to be and more! I’ll make a video soon, but it’s definitely the “pad” I was dreaming about for years.
So in a moment of completely vain moment, congratulations to me!
Lesson of the story for you: Go make a list, for now, at least 10 things that you want. Yes, they can be materialistic.
My list has cars, houses, watches, clothes, vacations, boats among other things such as non-profit organization to support education, family - etc…
Let the list point the way!

Congratulations… be sure to break it in properly…;^)
I think this post goes hand in hand with your last post.
We all want to win the race the first day, but consistency is much more important than intensity. We have to start with something achievable and keep going.
For example, I kept putting off getting my own house because I wanted something I couldn’t afford. Then I realized that if I kept putting it off, I might be renting for the rest of my life.
My townhome ain’t a mansion… but I’m working on it
keep smiling,

Hey Ben,
VERY Good point. I actually wanted to get a penthouse deep in a nearby city.
HOWEVER, that would have cost me at least 4-5 times what I spent, SOOO I decided, let’s get things started first
Great catch!
